It takes at least 30 days for the meds to get into your system and start working. I do not do calorie diet!! I do not believe in calorie counting!!
I am on a 90g carb per day food plan!! Some days I want more, but for general purposes I plan around the 90 grams!! Women my age and ht/wt are supposed to have around 390 if they are normal!!
Yes, babe!! If you stick tightly to diet and exercise program, you can get your glucose lower. It just takes time and hard work!! Really hard work!!! go run the track a couple of laps, hike around the mall as fast as you can walk a couple of laps.
Whatever, get moving!!!

Ask your doctor if it makes sense for you to switch the proportions of the food you are eating. 1200 calories is an awfully low number for daily calories. Most people lose weight (with lots of effort) eating 1500 calories a day. Maybe if you ate 1/3 protein, 1/3 carbs and 1/3 fat, for example, you would have better luck lowering your blood sugar, even with meds. You can use a website like fitday.com to put the food you eat in and see the pie chart of carbs/protein/fat. Ask your doctor.

Just because you are on meds and a diet doesn't mean you are eating the correct foods and in the right am'ts.Eating 5or 6 small meals will keep the production of insulin pretty even then eating 2or3 lrge meals and spiking sugar,if you haven't got a menu to assist with amt's then get one. It will help you see what calories and correct am'ts you are eating and need.

you should have seen some change by now. Go back to your doctor if you haven't already done so. Also ask for a referral to a nutritionist and/or diabetes education classes. What and how you eat is as important as how much. Excercise is helpful too (walking is great)

Watch your carb intake and the type of carbs you are eating. Go to dlife.com or onetouchgold.com. They have diets to follow and great, healthy recipes. Give them a try, and hopefully by eating what you should the sugar will come down. Good luck!

depends on how much sugar is in those 1200 calories. you might want to try a different medication though, you shouldn't have any problems at 1200 calories, see your doctor again

It will if you work out or exercise every single day 30 minutes to 45 minutes. It's the exercise and water when you exercise that are the keys.
